🌏 Talking about Places

In the story, we see how to name countries and cities together.

The Pattern: City β†’ Country

  • Delhi β†’ India
  • (Example: Paris β†’ France)

πŸ’° Money Words

When we talk about big numbers, we use Million.

  • 100 million dollars = A lot of money.
  • 20 million dollars = Less money.

Simple Rule: Use "million" after the number to show a very large amount.

πŸ•’ The Word "Different"

This word is very useful for A2 students. It means "not the same."

  1. Money: 100 million vs 20 million β†’\rightarrow big difference
  2. Time: India time vs America time β†’\rightarrow very different

Try this: Use "different" when two things do not match.
